    Those would be awsome for travel. I saw an article on these in PC World. I can't wait for them to hit the market.

    That is really cool! I hope I can get one of those this year.... They're a bit expensive though...

    Wow! well you wouldnt have to worry about getting any dust in your keyboard or cleaning it out... or even spilling things on it.

    I'd rather have a collapsible keyboard for the tactile input and a projected screen.

    Advantages:
    It looks good:D
    It's better than typing on a small keypad or "typing" with a stylus & actually makes using apps on PDAs practical.
    It's visibile even in places with a lot of lighting but better all the same in dark environments.

    Disadvantages:
    Sometimes it "types" the wrong keys, for example pressing a may cause s to appear on screen.
    Battery usually lasts about 5 hours.
